Anyone surprised? For this and other reasons I've refused to use their service and other services like theirs. Here's a service. Pay to get your panel/exome/whole genome sequenced, put your data on gcp/aws/azur

Ok, so French citizens/entities are bard from analyzing legal decisions. But, like, uh, how does this stop a non-French entity from doing the very same thing? ... and then making it available to the world! You know, cause a non-French

Cashless society will have real repercussions for the lower rungs of the economic ladder. As it is I ask myself how do I give money to homeless people when I'm not carrying cash? How do people without phones or cards interact with no c

I use Apple pay wherever possible. It is far quicker and more convenient than either cash, chip card or swipe in that order. Besides convenience, security and privacy are the backstop for my usage. I just trust Apple more to not be sleezy w

Your comment is ridiculous on its face. The reduction of your argument is that all topics should be written about once. Well, thankfully, that's not the case. There is a saying, the best way to learn something is to teach. And that is
